I Am You and I Can Prove It Using Bitcoin
summary
Claim: Bitcoin equals the people who control its secrets — memorizing a seed phrase in your head makes the coins part of your identity. Running nodes on a Raspberry Pi or Bitcoin Core or mining with ASICs is described as an extension of mind; miners are simply guessing a number repeatedly to produce blocks, not “creating” Bitcoin. Ownership reduces theft incentives because supply is fixed at 21 million and possession is just knowledge of private keys.
